newbe questions

[Daniel Schüle]

Hi all

i am new to python but not to programming in general
i tryed the code below i would write in C++
in particular the nested classes and creation of
objects in constr

my questions are
why are the variables x_ and y_ not set properly?
constr of base_inner never runs?!
but the initialisation of z_ trough foo() seems to work!!!


is the (let's call it) class-namespace resolution
trough self the right way to do it? (for types as well as for variables)
see self.y_ = self.base_inner ()
^^ ^^
variable type

i think x_ doesnt need self.base_inner () for the construction
because on its place the definition of class base_inner
is visible for it


thanks for your time

ps: is there any tutorials how to learn python coming from C++ background
especially what are the pitfalls .. etc

import os

os.system("cls" )

def foo():
return 1

class base:
def __init__(self):
print "base"
self.y_ = self.base_inner ()
def show(self):
print self.x_.value_
print self.y_.value_
print self.z_
class base_inner:
def __init_(self):
print "base::x"
self.value = "ok"
value_ = "not ok"
x_ = base_inner()
y_ = None
z_ = foo()

class derived(base):
def __init__(self):
print "derived"

b = base()
#d = derived()

b.show()
#d.show()

your __init__ method lacks a second underscore. BTW: Why do you use inner
classes at all? The make sense in e.g. java, because they can overcome some
limitations in java itself. The only thing I ever used them in c++ was to
create a sort of namespace, which is also not neccessary because of
modules. What are your reasons for using them?

thank you for your quick answear

i dont really need them, i was just playing with python
and possibilities of this language

in C++ i use them to emphasis the logical relationsship of some classes to
each other
for example
class list{/**/class node {/**/} };
class tree{/**/class node {/**/} };
or for the iterator implementation
